1969-70 Don Awrey Stanley Cup Finals Game Worn J
<B>1970 Don Awrey Stanley Cup Finals Game Worn Jersey.</B></I> A brutal defender who delivered crushing checks and stifled many opponent shots for the Boston Bruins, Don Awrey was rewarded for his efforts by having his name engraved on the Stanley Cup twice while with the team -- once in 1970 and again in '72. From his first championship foray we advance this top-notch gamer which a 26-year-old Awrey donned during the '70 Stanley Cup Finals, a thrilling example with solid wear. This garment is one of two in this auction that was worn on the same ice as Bobby Orr during the legendary playoff run that was highlighted by Orr's famous goal, Awrey was on the line that observed "The Goal" in close proximity. The Wilson gamer carries the Bruins' trademark three-color tackle twill spoked "B" logo with pronounced deterioration, while similar wear is also evident on the rear gold-on-white rear numerals. Advanced sleeve pilling and team repairs in the right sleeve, left shoulder, front tail and back further the evidence of game use. Inner yoke remains intact with thorough oxidation staining from the inner clips. Not only is this a first-class example of one of the most distinguished uniform designs in sports, serious hobbyists will also enjoy its historical significance of the utmost degree from its proximity and contribution to Orr's legend. <I>LOA from Rich Ellis.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Clothing, Costumes & Jerseys (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
